Namco Bandai announces arcade-style droid shooter Hexodius

Namco Bandai announced today that Hexodius, an arcade-style droid shooter that blends twin-stick shooting, with exploration and customization is heading to PC this June 21st via Steam, and will launch on Xbox Live in autumn 2013.

Developed by Brain Slap Studios, a three-man indie based in Lyon, France, Hexodius takes players into the heat of the blaster battle as they conquer multiple game modes and explore six varied worlds, each with a multitude of challenging arenas. The goal is to reach the exit of the Hexodius complex unscathed, but the droids are on the hunt and there’s nowhere left to hide.

Then just when players think they know their enemy, a new droid will appear, with a total of 25 to get the better of in battle, each with its own special dangers.
